I agree. Those were nice cpus and it is not a bad thing that they had a socket. I did not list them as a negative point, but to show that AMD had more sockets in the last time than AM3+, which could maybe partly explain OPs misconception that AMD spread their cpus over them more than Intel. When FM2+ got upgrades while AM3+ got them as well, it was indeed a strange split. That is was nothing compared what Intel does with their platform segmentation seems to have got lost.
